The train I take to work every morning only comes every ten minutes. Welcome to England. In New York, people would be FURIOUS if that happened. I mean, every ten minutes? And the trains are usually pretty packed, so you have to push your way on by the time it gets there. Often, the train will be shut down on the weekends for "service." When I ( Read more... )

Dear London,

When I stepped off the plane a year ago today (well, yesterday now), I had absolutely no idea what I was in for. I mean, I'd just broken up with New York City for you. That's got to mean something, right? New York and I had gotten off to a rocky start, it's true, but you never know what you've got 'til it's gone. New York was home ( Read more... )

I've had a gay couple of weeks. Last weekend was Gay Pride in London and I totally gayed it up. I was IN THE PARADE with the gay band, and then I played a gay band concert, and then I drank drank drank at a gay bar. It was so much fun. I haven't been to a Gay Pride in a few years, so I felt like I had some catching up to do. I didn't meet ( Read more... )

My parents were in town all last week and I took off work so I could show them around London. We had a great time and saw pretty much everything. I'll post some pictures and stories later this week.

Apparently we've just had the biggest snowstorm in two decades hit London. It's about 6 inches of snow and EVERYONE IS FREAKING OUT. No buses or tubes were running most of the day and there were SEVERE delays on the overground train. I was on time to work! But then I was sent home at noon because "it's going to keep getting worse." Why are ( Read more... )

I had a fantastic weekend. On Saturday I went to the Tate Modern. It's a huge art gallery/museum in this old power plant:

I’ve been trying to find a doctor forever. The process here is so ridiculous and tedious that I might just start screaming. Here’s what’s happened so far ( Read more... )

I got an email from my dad on Tuesday. He must have been bored. Here's what it said:

So here's to 2009 (or, as my old roommate's sister has called it - Two Thousand MINE).

I've been trying to figure out resolutions and I don't know if I have any official ones. I want to read more, that's for sure. I just finished The Front Runner by Patricia Nell Warren. Have any of you read it? It was AMAZING. It made me really sad at the ( Read more... )
